IS SPEED CONSTANT ?
If we think speed is constant then the ans comes out to be no . Because speed is respective . By this we mean that speed of a body is 20km/h to a stationary object with velocity zero. But the speed of the same body will be 15km/h if it is observed from another body with velocity 5km/h .
Now you must have understood why speed is respective.
Speed at an instant is called Instantaneous speed.
